I stand in complete defense of
ferrency who has taken the high road during this whole situation. He could have had a snooze-you-lose attitude toward whom he was trying to help, but he didn't. The guidelines he proposes are as much to protect the person acting as 'mentor' as to protect the person being helped. As a bystander, I remember being glued to the CB with a sense of total awe and sinking disbelief while the (newly enrolled) monk he was helping said, 'umm, now the box won't reboot.' I can only imagine what ferrency was feeling. I would hate to ever be on either end of that situation. That's the wisdom in his guidelines.
